Comments re Kenya From Tullow's confernece call:
Way to get over 1 billion barrells:
-The northern domain ERUT ETOM etc which is really attracting our attention, is -- has an un-risked volume potential of about 300 million barrels.
- The Amosing well is drilling at the moment, is drilling up-dip towards the basin-bounding fault. And what it's looking for is the transition from the higher-quality outboard reservoirs to the lower-quality inboard reservoirs in order to delineate the field and the most productive parts of the fields.
- In Ngamia, which will be the next well, it's an appraisal well with a slightly different objective. What we're doing there is drilling an undrilled fault compartment in the southern flank of the Ngamia field. So it has the possibility of adding a completely new compartment to the Ngamia volumes.
- On the exploration side and the exploratory appraisal side, the bit we're most interested in is the northern part of the basin, these E-prospects, based on the success at Etom-2. And what we'd like to do there is drill Etete.
Another prospect that catches our eye is Etilir, Emekuya. And we suspect there may be a northern concentration of oil at a similar sort of magnitude, or perhaps even greater than what we found at Amosing and Ngamia, in and around that Etom area.
-Erut 25 meters of net pay in a 55-meter gross ore section and a depth of 700 meters. And the oil was recovered to surface.
-combination of field delineation and exploratory appraisal to get to the 1 billion barrels, to drive to FID 2018.
Looks like plenty of oil yet to be found. lets hope Amosing 6 comes in big ! Should here at the endo f the month.
